Brief Summary: This is a single-center prospective controlled study with one eltrombopag treatment group and 2 control groups one on standard steroid treatment and another one untreated

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of Thrombopoietin Receptor MPL agonists on shear-induced platelet activation
Detailed Description: STUDY DESIGN

Single-center Medical University Vienna prospective controlled study Patients will be recruited at the Division of Haematology and Haemostaseology at the Medical University in Vienna one eltrombopag treatment group and 2 control groups one on standard steroid treatment another one untreated

AIM OF THE STUDY

To determine the effect of MPL agonists on shear-induced platelet activation Data obtained from patients treated with eltrombopag shall be compared to those from untreated patients and patients on steroids These investigations will extend previous studies that investigated platelet function without in vitro activation in patients receiving eltrombopag

PATIENTS

Trial Population

Total number of patients n34 12 on eltrombopag 12 on corticosteroids and 10 without treatment will be included in this trial

Treatment with eltrombopag or corticosteroids Eltrombopag starting dose 25 mgday increased as needed to 50 mg or maximum 75 mg once daily every 2 weeks to reach a platelet count between 50000-100000µL and tapering the dosis if platelet count 100000µL Afterwards if platelet count stable tolerance - 20 platelet control every 4 weeks otherwise weekly

Prednisolone starting dose 1 mgkgday to reach a platelet count between 50000-100000 µL tapering of the dosage if platelet count 100000µL

Laboratory Investigations

In the eltrombopag group and in the newly treated prednisolone group platelet counts and platelet function tests will be performed at planned visits

In patients who are on continuous corticosteroids part of control group I and untreated patients control group II which have a platelet count between 50000 and 100000µL platelet counts reticulated platelets platelet function tests and platelet antibodies will be studied at entry and after 4 weeks 5 days
